Long-standing fighting game expert - and overall fan - here (also designed a few, but never programmed them into existence given my focus on my story project), so this has me interested -- this is actually something similar to a role-play [i]I've[/i] been planning on bringing to the guild eventually and I've actually run an entire role-play site built around this fighting game concept (stuff like King of Fighters, Street Fighter, et cetera -- which all technically have their roots in anime anyway - subsequently why they often get turned into pretty decent anime - despite what [i]some[/i] people think) -- though with a less light-hearted/humorous tone. I've had multiple ideas for role-plays like this in fact, some of which would resemble other fighting games more than the 'mainstream' ones.

I don't have a lot of time on my hands with all the multitask I'm doing on and off the site, and I usually GM role-plays instead of just take part in them (for [i]several[/i] reasons), but I'll at the very least keep my eye on what happens here as long as I don't get too busy -- dunno if I'll actually join, especially with so many ideas of my own in mind and this sort of thing being one of them.

Good to see something like this up, either way.

Edit: That all being said, I've already got the groundwork of a character in my head, mostly because I've got plenty of ideas for this sort of role-play in the first place (as previously mentioned) and I usually can't stop the inspiration from hitting me -- being unable to switch off is a bitch sometimes.
